What would it cost to run the #fediverse at scale? With billions instead of millions of users?

What does it cost to run a social network anyway? According to the annual reports of two companies that should know, the comparable seems to be about $1-$2 per user per month. And that's after stripping out a bunch of costs, like us not building ad tech in the fediverse.

Have better numbers? I'd love to see them!
